Mobile shore power connection for container ships at the port of Hamburg
At Container Terminal Hamburg (CTH), three mobile shore power connections have been installed on the quays to ensure a flexible, fast and safe power connection for container ships. Over lengths of 300, 150 and 110 metres, the shore power connection at the CTH is precisely aligned with the ship's berth.
Mobile shore power connection at the cruise ship terminal in the port of Rotterdam
The port of Rotterdam relies on a modern shore power concept at its terminal for cruise ships. Whereas in the past the ships moored at the quay had to use their diesel generators to supply power, they are now supplied with electricity on land. The iMSPO Cruise, a socket that runs along the entire quay wall, allows the connection to the cruise ship to be moved quickly.
e-dispenser ensures an uninterrupted power supply and short charging stops at the harbour
Crowley's eWolf electric tractor is the first all-electric harbour tractor to be built and operated in the USA. Central to the electric operation of the eWolf is a shore-side charging system, which ensures that the tractor can be connected and disconnected quickly and charged reliably. This is made possible by the igus e-dispenser.
Space-saving shore-side power supply at the Tollerort terminal in Hamburg
At the Container Terminal Tollerort (CTT), the smallest terminal in the port of Hamburg in terms of area, an exceptionally space-saving and flexible shore-side power supply was to be found. Here, the operator opted for an e-spool flex, a large drum with a roller energy chain, in conjunction with a socket trolley that can be moved along the quay.
The Mongstad offshore base is one of the most frequently used bases in Norway. The shore power e-spool makes sure that the vessels that change twice a day are reliably supplied with shore power. Integrated in a 10-foot container, it can be positioned as desired.
Shore power cable management system for FSU in Bahrain
For the new offshore LNG terminal in Bahrain, Schneider Electric and igus have developed the world's first shore-side power supply system for a Floating Storage Unit (FSU). Its core component is a flexible cable feed system between the landing stage and the FSU.
"Hummel", the floating liquefied gas power plant from Becker Marine Systems, supplies cruise ships in the port with energy. The igus® shore power gangway, which serves both as a cable feed system and as a passenger gangway, connects the barge with the quay and guides cables with connectors.
